Twitter Likes Photo-Sharing So Much It May Launch Its Own Service [Blip]

Twitter may kick off its own photo-sharing service according to a rumor from All Things D. Just like TwitPic and Yfrog, this official service could let you upload photos and share them using a shortened URL.

No word on what will happen to TwitPic and Yfrog support if Twitter develops it own solution. We would like to think Twitter would be open to any service, but the company has become increasingly anti-competitive. In March, it told developers to stop making apps that duplicate the functionality of its own clients.

We may know more photo-sharing soon. Twitter CEO Dick Costello could make the big announcement at the D9 Conference later this week. [AllThingsD]
